re: Oysters going extinct

You don't think "The fact that ocean ecosystems are already failing to support some life forms needs to be taken seriously." can be substantiated by legitimate research?!

Wow.

Ok, since it’s the environment I’m going to be patient with ya because it is important that you understand.

You realize of course that the reason you gave negates your assertion. And I suspect that stems from a poor understanding of the concept of “ecosystem”. Start by researching “ecosystem” (and I don’t mean simply looking up its definition in a dictionary, even though that would be a great start for a person like you.)

Let me repeat, oxygen deprived zones in the ocean support less (way WAY less) life than those areas of the ocean that contain "normal" levels of oxygen. This is the same as saying that those missing life forms making up the difference are locally extinct in the oxygen deprived zones of the ocean. Complete extinction is achieved by joining together areas of local extinction.

All for not though, as I suspect your original response was motivated by an unrelated political reason.

I’d ask that you please not post on any further commonts on my sciency or environmental topics, however you can do what you want. But lets be clear, I consider you are so far "out there" that I don't even know what the hell you are.

Frankly, I'd edit your snarky response to him. You are coming off as a dumbass.

Your first post you specfically point to oysters.

Since you seem to not know the words needed to descibe what it is your are trying to say. It's Call a Ocean Dead Zone. Hypoxic areas in the ocean. or in your terminolgy "oxygen deprived zones of the ocean"

re: Oysters going extinct

jelly fish are doing fine, and the dead zones have some other unedible life forms that survive without oxygen, diseases do fine. Republicans ARE protecting life though, they are working to save e-coli.
